I don't think we'd need a theme. It could just be a collection of short fiction. Or, like, "original writing under fifteen thousand words" or something.

I also think it could take us a long time to consense on a theme. And if we did want to use one, it should be extremely broad -- like, "Buffistas Explore Darkness" not vampire stories, or even stories about goats, or what have you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For that I might be willing to make an exception ...

Oh, I think I'd have no problems turning in something under fifteen thousand. Heh. I'll get back to you when I break five thousand.

What, you think we can't all come up with fifteen thousand words about goats?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Yes! That's why I said "original writing," with you in mind!
And a broad theme (like ... I don't know, people, or darkness, or blue, or whatever) would work for anything.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
